Su Qingluan is not a deep-minded person, especially when it comes to a really deep-minded person like Mu Xingzhi. Su Qingluan knows that she is a bit petty, and in front of such a person, she is not just trying to do whatever she wants. Guan Gong used a sword in front of him.
So from the beginning, Su Qingluan's attitude in front of Mu Xingzhi was very frank - except for hiding the fact that he had traveled through time.
What's more, even if Su Qingluan wanted to hide it, her acting skills were really poor. So almost subconsciously, Mu Xingzhi understood what she was struggling with.
"Kaiyang is a secret guard," Mu Xingzhi smiled and shook his head, "and he is a secret guard who got one of the names of 'Beidou'."
Su Qingluan was stunned and nodded, understanding.
She didn't know what "Beidou" specifically meant, but anyone who graduated from elementary school knew that Beidou, the full name is "Big Dipper". Although Su Qingluan didn't remember the specific names of these seven stars, she also understood that these seven stars They all represent one person, that is to say, there are six more secret guards like Kaiyang.
According to Mu Xingzhi, he has more than seven secret guards, but these seven are obviously special. No matter what caused this special status, Su Qingluan believed that according to Mu Xingzhi's personality, the secret guard who could get into his eyes definitely had his own merits.
Thinking of this, Su Qingluan gave up the idea of asking how "Kaiyang" left, and instead remembered another point that he wanted to complain about just now: "Mu Xingzhi, didn't you tell your subordinates that our marriage was just a cooperation? "Because she was worried that "walls have ears," Su Qingluan leaned forward and whispered the last part of her sentence into Mu Xingzhi's ear.
On the contrary, Mu Xingzhi looked innocent: "Why do you say that?"
"..." The man was so confident, but Su Qingluan was speechless.
In fact, Su Qingluan also understood rationally that since the matter of "pretending to be a couple" was a secret, the fewer people knew about it, the better. Songbo was taking care of Mu Xingzhi personally, so he must not be bypassed, but Kaiyang was different. Although Kaiyang went in and out of Huaxi Village more than once, he was only here to convey information, so he did not tell him the true identity of Mu Xingzhi and himself. The relationship is also excusable.
It's just... Su Qingluan always felt a little guilty when hearing the other party's subordinates respectfully call her "Madam". After all, strictly speaking, both she and the other party were workers for the man in front of her, but now there was no way to oppress others for nothing. On the one hand, I always feel that there is a sense of "pulling the tiger's skin to pull the flag."
...Although raising a banner was not her original intention.
As always, Su Qingluan did not ask Mu Xingzhi what Kaiyang was doing here - she just needed to complete her own work. If there was anything special that needed to be done, Su Qingluan believed that Mu Xingzhi would not wait until she asked herself. He will tell
Sure enough, just as he was thinking this, he heard Mu Xingzhi ask: "Qingluan is going to use 'Su Ji' as an excuse to go to Beijing next spring. I wonder if it can be done?"
The mission, indeed the mission has been issued!
Su Qingluan knew that this was a job, and she became energetic for a moment: "I was still thinking about when I could go to the capital! It's great to have the opportunity!" After a pause, she looked at Mu Xingzhi, "So, when will there be news?"
Originally, Su Qingluan could not go to Beijing to "develop business". The main reason was that the current situation was said to be unstable. The old emperor's health was deteriorating, but he still breathed a sigh of relief. The princes below each had their own supporting forces, and they all had to Not open to trade.
However, the old emperor was also greedy for power. He clung to power and refused to let go even a little bit. He even took care of a few restless sons.
Of course, the old emperor was not crazy enough to attack his sons directly. Instead, he killed the chickens to scare the monkeys and dealt with several of the most noisy and cheerful ministers. This is one of the reasons why the capital has been in turmoil in the past two or three years - no one knows what the next time the old emperor will do. Whose neck did the emperor extend his suspicious guillotine to?
After all, most of the important ministers and underground subordinates do not have blood protection.
Could it be that the old emperor... Su Qingluan looked at Mu Xingzhi with some horror: This guy doesn't know how to treat the emperor...
Seeing Su Qingluan's expression change from surprise to surprise and then gradually to horror, Mu Xingzhi knew that this person was definitely thinking somewhere wrong again.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Xingzhi reached out and patted Su Qingluan's forehead to bring her back to her senses. "Don't think about it. What you imagined will not happen. In short, there will be news in about a month. …So what’s for dinner tonight?”
"...Isn't this change of topic too abrupt?" Su Qingluan complained unwillingly.
However, one of Su Qingluan's greatest strengths is that she is "measured". Under normal circumstances, as long as she is not provoked, usually at any time, she will not inquire into the issues that the other party does not want to mention.
So she looked in the direction of the kitchen: "Eat fried chicken tonight...well, it's probably a way you haven't eaten before. It may be greasy, but it's delicious."
"Too greasy is not conducive to digestion." Mu Xing, who looked like a health guru, gave his opinion confidently.
Su Qingluan suddenly thought that the person in front of her seemed to be a Chinese medicine practitioner who was proficient in medical skills... When she thought about it, she was not surprised that Mu Xingzhi looked like Yang Shengxiang.
She nodded: "Yes, what I do is not good for health, but haven't you ever said that mood is closely related to disease?" Although the original words are more elaborate than this, it is roughly the same. Meaning, "If I eat these things, I will feel better. Isn't this also good for physical and mental comfort?"
Mu Xingzhi obviously did not expect that Su Qingluan could round up the absurdity in this direction. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "You are right, but I am rigid."
Su Qingluan calculated the time. Songbo had been working hard in the kitchen for more than two quarters of an hour, kneading the juice from vegetables and fruit peels into the chicken. It should be enough time, so she stood up: "I'm going to make fried chicken. I believe you and Song Bo will both be willing to eat it."
After all, fried chicken has withstood the test of the taste buds of people all over the world in previous lives!
Imagining the delicious food that will be cooked with his own hands later, the fried chicken with golden crispy skin, the "yam version" French fries with golden shell and white inside, and the golden fried steamed bun slices wrapped in egg liquid... Su Qing Luan can even smell the oily aroma now.
Thinking like this, she felt like her stomach was growling.
With imagination about food, Su Qingluan almost jumped towards the kitchen. At this time, she inadvertently heard Mu Xingzhi's voice with a careless tone: "Qingluan, you Do you believe that someone can predict the future?"
These words sounded like they were filled with some fantasy and magic. Su Qingluan paused and turned around: "An oracle?"
